AFL Rd 8 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[Professer E]

Plus his loopy slow bombs to the flank which get picked off every time.  Another that gets caught out of position too often.

I see it nice and clean - yeah we may win clearances but outside of that we are getting slaughtered because we persist with crabs.

You are correct to a certain extent.
Even Walsh resorted to just throwing the ball onto the boot in the last qtr.
That ain't going to win big games.

Durdin, Fantasia, Pitto - not up to it.

48 - 81 tackles
9 - 18 tackles i50
Lost it there despite all the other positive indicators.

Just as we found new ways to win ugly initially. We're now finding new ways to lose.

Too much left to too many.
Lack of awareness of opponent and no systematic way to chase down or recover when they waltz around unchecked. Lack of speed shows.

Q2 and 4 are as bad as we've seen.

Vossy has lots to do if we're to be taken seriously. Consistency and attention to the basics might be good places to start ?‍?

It wasn't Walsh either - Pitto dropping marks all night - one mark for the night from a ruckman is not good enough I reckon.

Pitto not up to it? FMD dunno what games youre watching.

Pies' system of ball movement, defensive plan and set up is far superior to ours. They were the better team, quite clearly so I'm afraid

Our midfield is slow, our release and spread horrible and defence has broken down completely.  Other than Weeters, our backs aren't winning or halving contests consistently.  Our small forwards -2 of three anyway - were $$@ing useless.  And they're slow and apply no pressure.  Fantasia is a joke.

Too much talk from last week and i was worried we would get ahead of ourselves which i think we did. Still not quite there with the big boys and a lot of work to do to be a genuine top 4 team. Was shown up tonight by a even professional outfit who don't rely on superstars but even contributors.

Rely too much on our big forwards and need more avenues to goal and a better spread as we are too predictable.

Not sure what voss was thinking playing the useless number 14. Serious wtf. I like voss but his persistence with a bloke that provides nothing is looking bad on many fronts imo. And starting kennedy as a sub was another call that smacks of arrogance.have another 2 hard matches ahead and play like tonight and we wont win either.

Feeling very flat after that one.

Same one - but I dont care about center bounce work - can get a 9ft banana to do that - but his work around the ground and he was dead shit horrible.

[Professer E]

That last goal looked like a set play gone wrong.  Pitto was arguing with someone after it.  Again - system broke down under pressure.
